In 1923, the legendary Ugo Sivocci aims at primacy and, to prepare himself at the legendary Targa Florio race on the Sicilian Madonie, he paints on the front of his Alfa Romeo RL Targa Florio a four-leaf clover inside a white square. Luck is with him and on that occasion the first place is his. In the following weeks Sivocci tested on track one new car, which however does not bear the coat of arms of the four-leaf clover. During the test, a tragic accident takes away his life and the possibility of new victories. That sad event becomes the beginning of one tradition that has the flavor of legend: all Alfa Romeo racing cars have since reported the four-leaf clover symbol inside a white triangle that replaces the initial square, deprived of one side to symbolize the disappearance of Sivocci. Even today the Quadrifoglio by Sivocci it is an emblem of great agonistic ability and remains, of course, an indispensable lucky charm.
